Home security company Arlo Technologies has partnered with RapidSOS, an AI-powered intelligent safety platform used by first responder agencies, to improve emergency responses.
This partnership ensures RapidSOS safety agents receive critical details from Arlo users and enables real-time visual confirmation of incidents through video verification, reducing false alarms and accelerating emergency response when every second matters.
Video verification allows safety agents to assess live footage from designated Arlo cameras before escalating to 911 to dispatch police, fire, or medical responders. Combined with user details, this innovation provides first responders with accurate, actionable information, leading to more effective assistance in emergencies.
